Forend is too long and the front swivel is in the wrong place.

Yeah, but that can all be fixed. Do you think that side mount puts the scope over the bore? Maybe lets you use the sights without removing the scope?

If I was a .358 junkie I think I'd rob a bank and jump on that Dakota Africa.

Didn't even notice the side mount. Thats a deal breaker.

Yeah, pretty much. Does that look like. No 1 contour to you? Looks a bit light for a No 2. I'm thinking a quarter rib will fit a No 1 better. What do you think?

I've noticed that too. From what I see it's about .10 inch at the muzzle. Good question for Mule Deer.

LGS has 50-60 Dakota's in stock. They have or have had at least one of every model they make.

They have a 76 Alpine Deluxe in 257 Roberts that's about as pretty a rifle as I've ever seen.

Here is the Dakota 76 .358.
[Linked Image]
Price: $8,950.00

I have had .358's for half a century and am all set.

If did not have a .358 and wanted one for actual hunting I would get a 99F so chambered.

Several here have visited the place. Harry (Battue) was here last fall and I'm still surprised he didn't leave with a Dakota or Cooper. I had to pull him from the isle where they are displayed...

If they weren't more gun than I need I might be all over that Dakota. Pretty rifle.

The .358 Win is not exactly a barn burner. Think with a 250 gr Silvertip it's getting around 2250 fps with factory ammo. If you can find it. wink

Sort of a .308 after too many doughnuts. Actually, it would probably be about perfect for my type of hunting - all within about 150 yards - but I don't want to start rationalizing!! cry

A rifle looney never ever "rationlizes" about buying another firearm!

Look at me,for example,I never rationalize about buying firearms.

You wanna know why,rationlizing give me a headache. wink smile


Just ask my wife,she'll agree with that statement!

I might just take the easy way out and contact Dakota to see what's offered. No way it can even approach what Westley Richards wants for their M98-based rifle.

At least I don't think. eek

I ran by the LGS during lunch. My estimate was low. I counted 84 on the shelf.

What exactly are you looking for? They may have one in stock.

Something like that African, only with maybe another inch of barrel and in 7x57. I'm thinkin' something like that would have to be made.

I told my wife that before I die I'm going to treat myself to one very nice rifle. I'm just trying to put it together in my head. I pretty much know what I'm looking for, but I think it's going to be a semi-custom proposition.
